Doug Collins wanted to sign Kwame Brown to a 5/36 deal shortly after the lockout

The ownership rejected the deal. Josh Harris

The 76ers: What went wrong

Collins, who declined comment for this article, made a push for more power, for control of all player personnel decisions - which at the time was then team president Rod Thorn's responsibility. According to sources with intimate knowledge of the situation, Collins wanted to sign center Kwame Brown to a guaranteed five-year, $30 million deal before the lockout-shortened 2011-12 season. Harris, on Thorn's advice, vetoed the signing. Unfortunately for the Sixers, it was revisited.

Thing is, if Ed Snider was still the owner Doug might've gotten his wish.

He didn't leave over Kwame Brown, did he?

This has to be a fukking joke

Did the onion report this?

Kwame is still in the league?

 

[gho3st]

Kwame is a good post defender but on offense you might as well play 4 and asks Kwame to come back in the game when the other team got possession

But 5yr36m???

This is not surprising Philly is the same team that thought trading Iggy for Bynum was a good idea

well with the current direction it seems as if they wouldn't of been with either. and not having Iggy probally helped them get Noel and MCW.

more MCW Noel was a trade for Jrue.

Makes sense, Doug Collins is garbage. Kwame "Rock Hands" Brown will go down as one of the biggest all time busts at the #1 draft spot.

I been telling people for years Doug Collins is a joke and the worst thing that happen to the Sixers. He can't develop players and let feelings dictate who he plays etc...

Watch Evan Turner become a great player all of a sudden.
